49 - Video Game Adaptations
Hollywood has, for better or worse, had a longstanding tradition of adapting everything under the sun into a film. We've seen books and plays adapted to the big screen and, as we've entered the modern era, seen the same treatment offered to graphic novels and comic books, too. We've even seen fringe items like toys successfully adapted with The LEGO Movie and Trolls. Nevertheless, there's been one genre that hasn't been able to rise above the fray: video games. While films about video games — think Wreck-it Ralph or Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle — have performed well, for whatever reason, adaptations of existing franchises simply have not been good or successful. In this episode, we take a look at some of the worst offenders.
Join us as we discuss World of Warcraft, Mortal Combat, Street Fighter, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, The Prince of Persia, and briefly touch upon Assassins Creed and Doom.

48 - Hidden Clues in Films
Have you ever re-watched a movie, and noticed something that blew your mind? A subtle character trait that revealed a character was the killer in the first five minutes, or perhaps something in the background that gives away the twist ending? In this episode, we will be discussing movies that have hidden clues spread throughout them.
These films have been released for a while, but it's worth noting that MAJOR SPOILERS will be discussed for the following films: The Departed, The Sixth Sense, Inception, The Prestige, Unbreakable, Arrested Development, and Futurama.

47 - Fanboy Adaptations
When you're a fan of something, you tend to be passionate about it — really passionate. This is particularly true for fandoms that are adapted to the screen, big or small. Whether it's a book, comic, video game, or something else, you want the adaptation to be good — and odds are, you probably have some strong opinions about how it should be done. Most of us will never get a chance to make our own big-budget movies, but — what if we did? Well, that's what we're going to look at right now…what if we got to make a movie?

46 - Failed Franchises
There are a lot of awesome movie franchises out there — Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, James Bond — that have been around for a long time. We're not talking about those; we're talking about would-be franchises where a film was left wide-open for a sequel, and it completely tanked. No sequel for you, because your movie sucked!
Join us as we discuss Avatar: The Last Airbender, two jettisoned attempts to get a DC Cinematic Universe off the ground, and Seeker: The Dark is Rising. We'll get into why these series had loads of potential that was squandered, killing them before they could really develop.

45 - Underrated Films
At the turn of the century, approximately 350 major releases were issued into theaters. By 2013, that number had almost doubled. In fact, 51 more films were produced and released between 2012 and 2013 alone. As you can imagine, it'd be easy to get lost in that sea of celluloid. Whether it's because of the increasingly stiff competition, a film simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or whatever the case may be, there are any number of reasons a film might go unnoticed or under-appreciated. The following are four films we believe deserve a closer look.

Fun Times

Awesome Podcast
Totally get to get my geek on with The Cutting Room Floor. Great stuff. Definitley worth checking out.
Fun insights into film
I’ve really enjoyed listening to this podcast. The hosts are engaging to listen to, and the fact that they’re both obviously nerds warms my heart. In the podcast they take either a movie or a theme per episode and discuss the movie’s strengths and weaknesses. So far most episodes have revolved around superhero movies and Star Wars, with a bit of Tolkien/Peter Jackson thrown in, but they’re starting to branch out more. And their intro is fantastic.
